Photographer's Note

Parking, El Nido style. The only way to get these idyllic islands in the Bacuit Archipelago, is by this style of outrigger canoe / fishing boat. The waters are generally protected, so it's not usually rough. This is Helicoptor Island (at left) which does resemble the silhouette of a helicoptor from a distance. This is one of the few islands where I saw wild monkeys in the trees. But I didn't photograph them. Too busy photographing the beaches, swimming and snorkelling. A lovely way to spend early New Year's Eve.

Hi Chris
a paradise of a place and such a great POV. The scenery here is so captivating and with the colourful boats it just makes I all the more appealing and attractive. Excellent quality image and an irresistible presentation.

The distance between the boats and the mountains is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colours of the boats and of the tropical scenery. The good luminosity is enhancing the colours. Have a nice day.

Beautiful tropical beach setting. The lack of tourist give the landscape a lovely and quiet mood. I'm sure later in the day, this play would be filled with people. Beautiful landscape the boat adds some nice warm and cheerful color to the whole scene and give good depth.

Good evening Chris,
Transparet water and high mountains back-decor the beautiful bay.
The boats in juxtaposition added depth and vivid tones, contrast to the nature's in view. Fine beach to stretch upon.
My cong.'s,
Ike

You chose a very well angle, nice above the boats with the sand beach nice toward the forest.
Your picture is very well taken.
Colours and sharpness be superb.
Composition and presentation are lovely.
Very well done, TFS.

Heheh I was just thinking, jeez this isn't the Turkey that I remember! But I see you're giving us some variety with this idyllic shot of the Philippines. Beautiful colours, excellent POV and aren't those mountains in the BG majestic? Wow, what a place!
